Sport Minister Zeljko Jovanovic said HRK 110 million had been earmarked in the state budget for the Croatian Olympic Committee (HOO) so that the athletes could have the best conditions to get ready.
HOO president Zlatko Matesa said a record number of Croatian women athletes would compete, 44, and that for the first time, Croatia would have women's handball and basketball teams.
